2009 Ex Award Winners: Best Activation Of A Sports Sponsorship - Silver

From the June 2009 Issue

Silver Award
CAMPAIGN: Beijing Olympics
CLIENT: Coca-Cola Company
AGENCY: Momentum Worldwide

By leveraging its Beijing Olympic sponsorship in 2008 with a massive footprint for consumers and VIPs Coca-Cola was able to enhance retail relationships and keep itself top of mind for the millions of Chinese citizens who were on site. The idea was to show how “shuang” (meaning “hip”) Coke is.

The two-story Coca-Cola Shuang Experience Center was located near the Olympic Green and featured nine areas for engagement including: the Heritage Gallery featuring a timeline that started in 1928 when Coca-Cola first sponsored the Olympic Games; the Coca-Cola Theater showing a four-minute film about the 1984 Games when China won the first team sport gold medal in volleyball; and the Shuang Arena at the heart of the Center which surrounded guests with Olympic sports experiences like live broadcast feeds from events after-hours parties and live entertainment. The Perfect Serve invited guests to have an ice-cold Coke and receive a small premium before they left.

Data Collection That’s Not a Drag

Mandatory data collection in a live experience can make some brands seem like telemarketers. But do it just right and consumers will flock to your footprint.
